"Ahem, back to the main topic, let's talk about this clearing mission."
Although she had worked overtime to the point of delirium, the person in charge, also the captain of the action team, at least maintained a basic level of professionalism:
"According to reliable intelligence, a group of Abundance filth has established a stronghold somewhere in the Central Starskiff Haven."
"This stronghold is extremely hidden, with about ten Disciples of Sanctus Medicus stationed there, and a Deacon-level filth in charge of the overall situation."
"If we let it be, it will surely lead to a great disaster. So before they cause trouble, we must take the initiative to attack and take them down."
The team leader clapped her hands, and the other members immediately gathered around.
Chu Ze counted, there were twenty people in the team, and each of them had the aura of a Pathstrider.
Clearly, they were all Pathstriders skilled in combat.
"Twenty against ten, the advantage is mine."
"As for that Deacon, I will personally suppress him."
The team leader looked at Chu Ze and Qingque:
"And what you two diviners need to do is to formulate an attack route for us, avoiding civilians while ensuring that no remnants of the Plague Author escape."
Chu Ze nodded:
"Understood, but can we fight?"
"In principle, you can. After all, you two are not employees of the Realm-Keeping Commission and are not under my jurisdiction."
The captain said with concern:
"But the filth of Abundance is extremely difficult to kill. For non-combat-type civilian personnel like you, even if you are physically stronger, it's best to stay away from the battlefield and protect yourselves."
"...But this gentleman, you look a bit familiar. Have we met somewhere before?"
Chu Ze chuckled:
"No, you must have mistaken me for someone else."
He was once a Cloud Knight Garrison Officer, but he was not the only officer in the Cloud Knights.
And he had been fighting on the front lines for many years, with little time to wander around the Luofu, so not many people had actually seen him.
The captain didn't think much of it, just assuming Chu Ze was the type of civilian who liked to work out.
So she told the two the detailed location of the stronghold.
Although it was his first time doing it for real and he was still a bit rusty, under Qingque's guidance, Chu Ze quickly completed the predetermined task and formulated the attack route.
The surprise attack on the Abundance stronghold thus officially began.
...
...
Meanwhile, inside the stronghold.
Four figures dressed like humans were sitting in chairs.
They were dressed in solid red, yellow, blue, and green long robes respectively. Around them were a full thirty ordinary Disciples of Sanctus Medicus.
"Hehehe... those lackeys of the Arrow-Demon definitely wouldn't have thought that we've already set up an ambush in advance."
The man in red said with a strange laugh:
"Deliberately showing a flaw, pretending to expose the stronghold. In fact, this is a trap to lure them in."
"Wiping out these lackeys of the Arrow-Demon will definitely cause a big commotion and divert the attention of the Six Commissions."
"This way, the leader's [grand plan] can be implemented!"
The other three figures in yellow, blue, and green clothes also let out strange laughs.
Unlike the information that had been leaked, there were a full four Deacons stationed here, and thirty Disciple brothers.
Let alone the Realm-Keeping Commission's combat team, they even dared to take on the Cloud Knights!
And so, amidst a series of "hehehe" sounds, the sound of footsteps gradually came from outside the door...
...
...
"This is it."
In a remote alley.
The action team leader gave a hand signal.
Everyone immediately dispersed and surrounded the place in a clever formation.
And Chu Ze took the initiative to step forward and knock on the door.
Soon, a voice came from inside: "Who is it? What do you want?"
Chu Ze's voice was calm: "Delivery. Who bought the 'Feiji Cup'? Open the door and sign for it."
Everyone: "?"
What the hell is a 'Feiji Cup'!
And isn't that supposed to be delivered discreetly? What kind of deliveryman would say it out loud so brazenly!
Because this reason was too absurd, even the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus inside were stunned for a moment.
And in that instant, Chu Ze kicked the door open:
"FBI open the door!"
"Everyone drop your weapons, hands on your... damn, so many people?"
Even if his math was bad, Chu Ze could clearly count that there were definitely not just a dozen people in the room.
The Disciples of Sanctus Medicus also came to their senses, and with a flicker of their figures, they surrounded Chu Ze and his group in reverse.
"It really is the lackeys of the Arrow-Demon!"
"Didn't expect it, did you? The real prey is you!"
"Die obediently! Everything for the Plague Author, everything for the grand plan!"
The action team leader's face changed drastically.
They were surrounded.
And the other side had too many people, with a full four Deacon-level powerhouses.
With just their action team, they would definitely not be able to escape!
Although she had long been prepared to sacrifice herself, this time she had also implicated two colleagues from the Taiyan Division, which was really...
...Hmm? Colleagues from the Taiyan Division?
The captain looked at Chu Ze in confusion.
This guy showed no fear of being surrounded at all. Instead, a look of excitement emanated from the depths of his eyes:
"The Plague Author is merciful, the Arbor grows, the Disciples are of one mind, together we ascend to... cough cough, sorry, I remembered the wrong words."
Under the slightly pained gazes of the crowd, Chu Ze grinned and shouted again:
"The morning star is on the string, its might shakes the four corners! Hunting the sea of stars, eradicating the filth!"
"Kill!!"
Raising his arm!
Charging a punch!
Bang—!!
The green-robed Deacon closest to him didn't even have a chance to dodge and was directly killed on the spot!
Let alone transforming into his true filth form, not even a complete piece of his skull could be found!
"Hiss..."
The red-robed Deacon's face immediately changed:
"The Plague Author is merciful! Disciple brothers, kill all these lackeys of the Arrow-Demon!"
The action team leader also shouted:
"Plague Author filth, you think I'm afraid of you? Everyone, form up and attack!"
The two groups quickly became entangled.
The power of the Paths flickered one after another, and all kinds of skills and ultimate moves were released continuously.
...
...
The Realm-Keeping Commission's combat team had twenty people.
And the ambushing Disciples of Sanctus Medicus had a full thirty people.
Everyone was an experienced Pathstrider. In theory, the Realm-Keeping Commission was at a disadvantage.
But the problem was, the Realm-Keeping Commission had an outlier in their ranks—Chu Ze!
"Since we're in a desperate situation, let's fight to the death!"
Chu Ze tore off his shirt, revealing his muscular body that was both beautiful and violent.
He roared, and the crimson power of Destruction wrapped around his arms, the lines of his muscles becoming even more rugged!
"Protocol approved, executing scorched earth operation!"
"I will, ignite the sea of stars!"
Borrowing a line from a certain colleague, Chu Ze punched the floor, and surging flames erupted from under the floor tiles, rising into a pillar of fire several tens of meters high!
A large number of Disciples of Sanctus Medicus were directly swept up into the air by the pillar of fire, their entire bodies burned to a crisp by the high temperature.
Occasionally, someone triggered a revival passive, but as soon as they recovered, they were immediately burned to a crisp again.
And the three Deacons all targeted Chu Ze.
They roared angrily, revealing their true Plague Author forms, and surrounded him from clever angles!
...And then they were beaten even more miserably.
"Muda muda muda muda muda!"
"Fire is super effective against wood, don't you know basic common sense?"
Chu Ze punched repeatedly, his fists a blur of afterimages.
With his fists enhanced by the fire of Destruction, coupled with his own monstrous strength, the three Deacons had no chance to fight back!
Every punch they exchanged would tear off a piece of their tissue. Although the blessing of the Plague Author allowed them to regenerate continuously, the bone-deep pain could not be erased.
By the time Chu Ze stood up again and began to charge up a punch to use a skill, the three Deacons had already been beaten to the point of mental collapse, unable to resist.
"One last punch, to send you..."
Chu Ze's mind suddenly turned, and the knowledge and common sense he had recently learned made him change his mind:
"Forget it, I'll spare your lives."
"After all, they're three Deacons of the Denizens of Abundance. If I torture them a bit, I can probably get a lot of information out of them."
With that, Chu Ze directly knocked the three of them unconscious.
Then he waved to the Realm-Keeping Commission team leader behind him:
"What are you standing there for? Come up and tie them up."
"Interrogating the remnants of the Plague Author is your job. You can't let the Taiyan Division do that too, can you?"
"..."
The members of the Realm-Keeping Commission were already dumbfounded.
Especially the captain, who almost popped her eyes out when she saw Chu Ze single-handedly defeat four Deacons.
Dude?
Is this for real?
A random diviner can actually one-shot a Deacon-level expert from the Denizens of Abundance...
Is there something wrong here!
